For writers who are committed to their craft and are ready to make screenwriting more than just a hobby, Roadmap Writers offers our Career Writer Program. These feedback-driven sessions put the Career Writer in immersive and interactive roundtables, making them competitive in the marketplace while helping them build relationships with as many industry professionals as possible.
The vast majority of our Success Stories come from writers in our Career Writer Program, many of whom have gone on to sign with companies such as CAA, Gotham Group, Gersh, Zero Gravity, Circle of Confusion, and more!
Participate in exclusive meeting roundtables with managers who will help mold your marketing strategy.
- Each participant spends 20 minutes with 5+ executives in a roundtable setting to pitch your projects, get feedback and build executive relationships. These take place the first two weekends of the month.
- An exclusive marketing roundtable with Roadmap CEO Joey Tuccio which includes Roadmap emailing execs about Manager Track writers to increase industry exposure.
- All the Sunday Webinars.
- An exclusive Next Steps Clinic just for writers in Manager Track with a literary manager to help writers prioritize their loglines and strengthen their career strategy. This will take place on the last Monday of every month at 6 pm PT.
Once you sign up, you will be put in the following month's program.
**Note: Roundtables with the execs are scheduled and posted at the top of the month, and take place on weekends.
**Writers must have completed Steps 1-3 , have 3-5+ completed scripts in their portfolio, and have at least 2 well polished screenplays that are market ready in order to apply to Top Tier.
I honestly am so grateful for everything I learned during any of my sessions with Roadmap, it definitely opened my eyes to a new side of the business, and it's especially helped with all of my pitches (I still refer to your pitch tips)!
~ Ashlei Hardenburg-Cartagena, Screenwriter (2021-22 Warner Bros. Writers’ Workshop Fellow)
I can't believe how much I'm getting out of my journey down the 'road'. Working with Roadmap is the single smartest decision I've made since I started writing.
~ Tom Holowach, Screenwriter
Dorian is a force of nature! It was such a pleasure working with her in the Pitch Prep Program and Marketing Intensive. Our group learned so much; it's clear our confidence is growing every time we pitch—all thanks to Roadmap! We received specific notes, invaluable guidance, and, most importantly, we laughed all along the way.
~ Brenda Lynn Bynum, Screenwriter
Thank you so much for all of your help on my project—especially on the business, marketing, and pitching side. Who knows what will come from any given meeting, but it’s a good feeling when someone requests the script or asks about additional materials and if I currently have reps. Right now, an A-lister's development producer is reading the script and I’m meeting with a streaming exec tonight. I feel so much better prepared to pitch and take these meetings because of Roadmap.
~ Todd Hunter, Screenwriter
